WORCESTER' residents who are bonkers about butterflies or mad about moles get the chance for a really wild day out this weekend when wildlife experts visit the city.

Pets at Home in Blackpole Retail Park, Blackpole Road, Worcester, is welcoming representatives from the Wildlife Trusts from 10am to 5pm on Saturday September 17, and 11am to 4pm on Sunday, September 18.

On both days visitors will have the chance to find out all about their local nature reserves and how they can get involved in supporting our wildlife throughout the Worcester area.

Adrian Soskin, spokesman for the Wildlife Trust, said: "Holding an event like this is a great way to get people involved in encouraging local wildlife and kids really enjoy learning about how they can help out.

"We're going to be on hand all weekend to give people advice on how best to support local wildlife and about where to find their local nature reserve."

The Wildlife Trusts are a nationwide network of 47 local trusts that collectively care for more than 2,400 nature reserves and between them have 550,000 members.
